For fans of Ford trucks, the F-100 Supernationals presents an annual treat filled with seemingly endless rows of incredible vintage metal.
Annual Treat
We Ford truck fans have more than our fair share of events and shows to attend each year. But for 41 years now, few have managed to top the F-100 Supernationals. With the gorgeous mountains of Tennessee as a backdrop, this event annually draws thousands of beautiful rides to Pigeon Forge.
Thankfully, Automobile was in attendance this year, and provided us with dozens of cool trucks to drool over. Here are our favorites of the bunch.
Enduring Popularity
Every October, Ford truck fans from 23+ states make the scenic trip to the F-100 Supernationals. And aside from the trucks, there are plenty of reasons this event enjoys such enduring popularity.

Lots of Amenities
Pigeon Forge is a big-time tourist town, which means it has lots of great shopping, attractions, and excellent places to eat. You can stay in a log cabin, enjoy all those amenities, and even devour some killer fudge. Where else can you do all that and attend one of the greatest truck shows around?

The event officially runs Thursday through Sunday, but festivities kick off on Friday morning. There, you get to see a bunch of special rides making their public debuts, which, of course, makes all those long hours put in by the builders well worth it.
